Chapter 332: Chapter 332 "Something's Weird"
Crabbe didn't expect that Ottoman would dare to cast a spell on himself directly. Coupled with the difference in strength, he could not defend himself, so he fell to the ground and wailed.
The invisible whip formed by magic kept whipping Crabbe, and Ottoman had already held a long grudge. During these days, he could only sleep for two or three hours every day. Dead rats and rotting flobberworms had already pushed him to the limit.
Thinking of this, Ottoman's wand trembled, and he ignored Crabbe's screams and begging for mercy and kept hitting him.
"Ottoman! It's not me!" Crabbe tried to defend himself.
"Not you?" He laughed nervously.
He continued to whip Crabbe as he strode over to the sink. It was a package that Crabbe had placed on it, with scarlet blood oozing from the cracks. Osman picked up his camera and unwrapped the package.
Inside were several dead rats.
He suppressed the discomfort and took a photo, then turned around and stared at Crabbe with an extremely terrifying gaze.
"You son of a bitch!" A whipping curse fell.
"With Draco beside you, did you really think no one would dare to come to you?"
"You didn't expect me to be a special operations investigation team member?" Osman waved his wand.
Tears and snot were streaming down Crabbe's face.
He cried and shouted, "It's really not me! I swear..."
Ottoman hit harder, whipping the curse directly at Crabbe's face. He doesn't want to hear any words from him at all now.
There were footsteps outside the door.
In the room not far from the bathroom on the first floor, an Occamy thick as a thin thread slipped back into Sean's robe without anyone noticing.
"I see…"
On the side, Draco stared at Sean and said anxiously, "Aren't we going out yet? Umbridge hasn't come yet, right?"
Sean narrowed his eyes, "Umbridge is here..."
"Should we go now? I brought everyone. What about the twenty or so Slytherin students? Didn't you also call students from other houses?" Draco said.
"Things have changed..." Sean said.
He kept Naja monitoring the situation near the bathroom. Umbridge did rush over, but Fabian didn't follow her.
This is not normal.
Sean planned the whole thing. It wasn't Crabbe who had been tormenting Ottoman at all; it was Draco, and Crabbe was only told to start messing up the bathroom that Ottoman had just cleaned.
The reason is simple, letting Ottoman suspect Crabbe first, and lose his sanity.
He became a special operations investigation team member, as he had expected. At this time, as long as Crabbe showed some flaws, Ottoman would definitely not let him go.
Seeing such a situation, Umbridge said, "The stolen goods will be taken", and Ottoman is her accomplice whom she had just appointed, so she would definitely back Ottoman's actions.
Draco brought people to the scene to help Crabbe and students from other houses that Sean called would help fan the flames.
After doing all this, Umbridge needs to face a difficult choice.
If she continues to protect Ottoman, under Draco's instigation, she will lose the hearts of Slytherins, and Hogwarts students will return to great unity.
It would be even better if she chose to punish Ottoman. This was the first special operations investigation team member, and she appointed it herself.
Not only that, Sean has also prepared a series of follow-up operations that can guarantee that Umbridge will get nothing but superficial majesty.
However, Fabian did not appear, which made Sean a little puzzled.
"Sean? Do you want to follow the original plan?" Draco urged.
Sean pondered for a while and said, "The plan remains the same. You can take someone there. If you have any questions, go to Professor Snape, but he should come by in a while."
"Okay." Draco walked out of the utility room and immediately called several people to head for the bathroom on the first floor.
Soon, the bathroom was surrounded by a large number of students from various houses.
Umbridge looked gloomy, "What are you doing here?! Do you want to be punished?!"
Draco stood up and said, "Professor, I want to know why our Slytherin students are treated like this."
On the bathroom floor, Crabbe was knocked unconscious.
Ottoman came out from inside and waved the camera in his hand, "The evidence is solid. He deserves it."
Draco frowned, "That's not what Crabbe did. You've got the wrong person."
Ottoman's eyes widened. He threw the dead rat's package on the ground, "Is he?"
Draco waved back, and a few Slytherins stepped forward.
"The last few times you've been pranked, Crabbe was with other people," said Marcus Flint.
A few students also expressed that they could testify.
Ottoman was at a loss for words, but he immediately pointed to the package of dead rats and said, "Then how do you explain this? I've already taken the pictures!"
"I asked him to do it." A voice sounded outside the bathroom.
Snape walked in, and Umbridge took a few steps back.
"I'm wondering, someone got a pack of dead rats from Hagrid to feed the ghoul, and the blood of the ghoul is one of the main materials for the next lesson. Mrs Umbridge, can you tell me why your students are attacking other students who run errands for me? Did you order him to do it?"
"O-of course not!" Umbridge was terrified of Snape now.
"Then, Mr. Ottoman, can you tell me, what are you doing? Why do you think you have the right to teach others indiscriminately?" Snape stared at Ottoman.
Ottoman was already stunned by the series of unexpected news, coupled with Snape's sense of oppression, he replied, "I… I thought he did it. Mrs. Umbridge said I could do anything to punish students as she gave me the right to do so."
Halfway through, he froze in place. The scene suddenly became awkward, and the veins on Umbridge's forehead were already popping up. Seeing this, the other students immediately shouted.
"How can you do this to your own house?"
"That's right, look what has he become? God, don't tell me that is Crabbe. I can't even recognize it after being beaten."
There were more small rustling sounds.
"Is this how the senior investigator and her special operations investigation team work?"
"Uniting outsiders to bully our school's students is really embarrassing to Hogwarts, and even more embarrassing to the Slytherins..."
There are also Gryffindor students who are angry, "Do you treat your own mates like this?"
Immediately, the Slytherins retorted, "Nonsense, Slytherin is the most united house."
At this moment, the Slytherins looked at Ottoman and Umbridge. Draco looked angry, but inside, he was excited and surprised.
When a foreign enemy with a high enough hatred value appears, the Slytherins are still willing to stand on Hogwarts' side, and students from other houses still maintain the trust they should have among classmates.
Sean was using the invisibility cloak to wander around the castle. He wanted to find out what Fabian was doing.
"The news about this should not be talked about." A voice came.
Sean sneaked past and saw Fabian he had been looking for. He was talking to a man in the Guards' uniform.
Fabian frowned, "Who decided to cover up this news?"
"The Guards and the Ministry of Magic unanimously decided. Don't you think it's not chaotic enough now?" the man said.
"I see..." Fabian nodded and became confused again, "Why did Grindelwald sneak into the British Department of Mysteries?"
Grindelwald infiltrating the Department of Mysteries? Sean, under the invisibility cloak, frowned.
The Guards member went on to say, "Who knows? Didn't Nurmengard also have an accident before? Two of us died, and in the end, even Rozier couldn't explain the cause of the incident. "
Nurmengard also had an accident? Sean frowned.
The lack of a message from the Golden Dawn meant that either the two were lying or the news was completely suppressed. Fabian spoke a few more words with that person, talking about the strangeness of the British Ministry of Magic recently, but Sean didn't hear more.
Sean left here immediately.
Fabian stood in front of the window and looked out at the rainy outside. After a long time, he glanced at both sides of the corridor quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Sean was lost in thought. The news he received suddenly confused him, and the British Ministry of Magic has become a complete mystery. Barty Jr. could not notify him of news, and the new minister continued to release various high-pressure policies, and now even all kinds of news are suppressed.
Draco told him even stranger news.
Umbridge unexpectedly saved Ottoman in front of Snape.
The reason was that the momentum was not enough. Umbridge almost used her ultimatum, but in the end, she was left alone with the matter, and even all the students who appeared in the bathroom were frustrated with the result.
This made Sean feel even more weird. Although Fabian was not a clever schemer, he was obviously not a fool either. He couldn't have been unaware of any abnormality. Umbridge should have been reminded by him.
Umbridge's choice was almost the worst one. Not only did she fail to win the support of the Slytherins, she even directly put herself on the opposite side of Hogwarts.
But something big must be going wrong with the Ministry of Magic and the Guards. It is a pity that his news channels in official institutions have been blocked. Barty's condition is unknown, and Bellatrix was moved directly to a single cell without having to able to see anything.
He went to Nurmengard through the Vanishing Cabinet and found something abnormal.
In the basement, where students are not allowed, the door to a cell was blown open. It was originally a closed basement, and Sean thought no one would go there.
Now, it seems that something has gone wrong. That means the conversation between Fabian and that Guards member was true.
However, he still didn't get any useful information. Sean didn't like this kind of situation. He had already started thinking about how to get first-hand information.
-----
The environment at Hogwarts was becoming more and more stressful, and Umbridge was going crazy. Even patting someone's shoulders in the hallway is now punishable behavior.
Sean was taken care of especially. Fabian seemed to provoke him deliberately and appeared in front of him from time to time to criticize him, and he would leave satisfied when Sean honestly called him "sir".
At the same time, Hogwarts directly banned single-person actions. Now, everyone needs to be accompanied by more than three people to go anywhere. Umbridge and her people watched everyone all day and night. Of course, no one wanted to follow Umbridge except Ottoman.
This made the students hold a sigh of relief. The castle is like a balloon getting bigger and bigger, just waiting for the day it is poked and burst.
One morning in October, Umbridge announced more rules. The risk of exposure to the wizarding world is heightened when an infamous group known as the Death Eaters attacks London.
"Fortunately, they have been arrested," Umbridge said loudly, "but the current situation is unprecedentedly tense, and the Ministry of Magic requires every Hogwarts student to be disciplined. Do you understand?"
"Yes." There was a sparse response in the hall.
Sean raised his eyebrows, turned around, and was about to leave, but Fabian came to him again.
"Hey, Wallup." Fabian smiled.
"Hello, sir." Sean said blankly.
Fabian sneered and leaned into Sean's ear, "Others don't know it, but I know. You are with the group who was just arrested."
"Sir, I don't understand what you're talking about." Sean raised his eyebrows.
Fabian's mouth raised a slight arc, "You'd better be a good student all the time. By the way, I'm going to interrogate that Death Eater now. What's his name? Augustus Rookwood?"
